I got a Technivorm about 15 years ago and besides replacing a carafe or two it's been perfect. I did disable the feature that stops the water exiting the basket after a few mishaps. It's a feature I never used.
DrCherryI too have had one of these for over 15 years, still makes great coffee everyday. Mine is still all original, including the carafe, but I'm starting to think about picking up a backup just in case.
